Submit a Public Abstract
1 Introduction
A public abstract is often a required part of Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE OSC) proposal submissions. Public abstracts are intended to summarize the activities involved in the project, and should be sufficient to permit potential reviewers to identify conflicts of interest. A public abstract should also be suitable for distribution to the public.
The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions for users to follow to complete and submit a public abstract.
2 Prerequisites
Before a public abstract can be submitted, the following criteria must be met:
- The user must be registered in PAMS as a Principal Investigator (PI).
- The user must have a Submit Public Abstract Task.
3 Submitting a Public Abstract
Use the following steps to submit a public abstract.
1. PAMS will send an email notification to the PI on the proposal indicating that the Submit Public Abstract task has been created (Figure 1). Follow the Submit Public Abstract link in the email. OR Log in to the PAMS external website at: https://pamspublic.science.energy.gov/webpamsepsexternal/login.aspx.
